About Me

Lansing, MI, United States

NASCAR. Became a Ryan Newman fan when I became a NASCAR fan. Have not been a NASCAR fan for long (5 years) but now I am one of the biggest fans of NASCAR and Ryan Newman.
Became fan when I started working for ALLTEL. Discovered they had a NASCAR driver....Ryan Newman. I started watching and got totally sucked in.
I have always enjoyed Motorsports, but have never really been hooked like this.
I am also VERY fortunate that my fiance Jeni is also a NASCAR fan. Have even recently caught her on the phone discussing NASCAR with her Mom.

AVONDALE, Ariz. - Ryan Newman appeared headed to a much-needed strong finish Saturday but while he made his final pit stop late in the race, the caution came out for a wreck.

Newman thought his team had decided to take two tires rather than four to hurry the stop, but when he drove out of the pit stall his left-front tire came off. He backed up and got a new tire, but ended up with a 38th-place finish.

“The bottom line is we came in and the caution came out. Everything was the wors- case scenario,” Newman said.

“Unfortunate situation for about six seconds there, but it led to us be 11 laps down and we had a car that was easily capable of winning the race.”
